Every sentence should have a noun and a verb, but do you know what that means?
The girl walked home.
Girl is the noun, and walked is the verb.
Verbs and nouns are parts of speech. Knowing the parts of speech can help you learn the rules of grammar
much more easily. Copyright 2012 www.time4writing.com/free-writing-resources Copyright 2012

2) A VERB describes what you are doing (action) or how you are being or feeling (abstract).
Action Verbs: jump, run, sing, laugh, eat, fall, cook, remember, believe, think
Abstract Verbs: am, want, own, seem, like, fear, owe, mind, need, belong, love
Notice that action words are not always acts that a physical body or object does. Your mind can also perform some actions, like thinking.
What matters about verbs (both types) is that they tell you what is happening!

3) An ADJECTIVE describes or modifies a noun.
Example: "the tall teacher"
The adjective tells you something about the noun (teacher) -- that the teacher is tall.
Example: "the slow computer"
The adjective "slow" describes the noun (computer).

4) An ADVERB describes or modifies a verb. It tells you the way in which something happens.
Example: "He spoke clearly."
The adverb "clearly" tells you the way he spoke (verb).
Example: "She sang well."
The adverb "well" tells you the way she "sang" (verb).

Adverbs can also describe where or when something happens.

The adverb "yesterday" tells you when she "left" (verb).
Example: "It rained everywhere."
The adverb "everywhere" tells you where it "rained" (verb).

A small sample of adverbs:
•quickly•patiently•thoroughly•angrily•thickly•now•here
Notice that most adverbs describe how rather than where or when and very often end in -ly.

5) A PRONOUN acts like a noun, but stands in place of it.
Example: "I love my bike. I ride it all the time."
"Bike" is the noun. "It" is the pronoun, taking the place of "bike."
A pronoun is often used to avoid constant repetition of the same noun in a sentence.

![Page 14: Parts of Speech Recognizing the Different Word Types Time4Writing provides these teachers materials to teachers and parents at no cost. More presentations,](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062301/56649cc95503460f949908c3/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
You always need to know what the noun is first, before you can use a pronoun.
Incorrect: I love it, and I always use it.
The reader doesn't know what "it" refers to in these sentences.
Correct: I brought my lunch and ate it.
"Lunch" is the noun, so "it" refers to the lunch.

6) A CONJUNCTION joins two words, phrases, or sentences together.
Example: "I love my bike. I ride it all the time."
To join the two sentences into one sentence, use"and" as the conjunction:
Like this: "I love my bike, and I ride it all the time."

Other examples and uses of conjunctions:
• But - I love running, but I hurt my foot.• So - I read quickly, so I finished early.• Because - I am late because I slept in.• Or - Eat your pie with a fork or a spoon.• And - Roses and irises are my favorite flowers.

7) A PREPOSITION joins a noun, pronoun, or phrase to another part of the sentence.
The preposition usually comes before the noun it refers to.That noun is the object of the preposition.
"The dog jumped over the fence."
Over is the preposition, and fence is its object.
Over the fence is called a prepositional phrase. Copyright 2012 www.time4writing.com/free-writing-resources Copyright 2012
![Page 18: Parts of Speech Recognizing the Different Word Types Time4Writing provides these teachers materials to teachers and parents at no cost. More presentations,](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062301/56649cc95503460f949908c3/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Prepositions often show location or position.
•in the room•on the table•across the water•under the covers
But prepositions are not always location words. They can link parts of a sentence in other ways and for other
purposes. Copyright 2012 www.time4writing.com/free-writing-resources Copyright 2012
![Page 19: Parts of Speech Recognizing the Different Word Types Time4Writing provides these teachers materials to teachers and parents at no cost. More presentations,](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062301/56649cc95503460f949908c3/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Prepositional phrases that do not indicate location or position, but reveal
other relationships:
•Crops benefited from the rainfall. (cause)•We met at midnight. (time)•The stem was as slender as a pencil. (comparison)•That's the property of the teacher. (possession)
Prepositions show the ways in which their objects connect to the rest of the sentence.

8) An INTERJECTION expresses emotion!
oIt is often one word standing alone.
oIt is often followed by an exclamation mark.
Sometimes it may introduce a sentence,but it is not really connected in meaning to the
events in the sentence.

Examples of Interjections
• Wow! That's wonderful!• Ah! I see.• Okay, I believe you.• Ouch! That hurt!• You won! Hurray!• Well, that was interesting.
Notice that there is not always an exclamation mark, and that the interjection is not always on its own.

Some people see ARTICLES as a Part of Speech.An Article introduces a noun.
There are 4 articles: a, an, some, the
To introduce a general noun, use... 1. a ... I eat a banana every day. 2. an ... I eat an apple every day. 3. some ... I eat some grapes every day. To introduce a specific noun, use... 4. the ... Pick up the book. the ... Pick up the books.
